How I Fix Common Drawing Mistakes (You're Probably Making Them Too)

[@asimian8500]

Wow. Loved this. Your husband is actually very good for a beginner. He could be a much better artist with practice.

[@jacquelineworrells.8130]

I agree

[@ladynym89]

I agree as well

[@prezidentlincolnart3136]

So true..

[@unlockyoursoulmemory4199]

I feel he got the expression quite well and I was quite impressed that someone who does not do this regularly was so on point in grasping the proportions... so he is actually quite good

[@DebbieCadbss]

I absolutely agree!

[@DebbieCadbss]

@Stizel Swik I think so too, but at the same time she very critical towards herself too. Artists are very critical in general!

[@sunnysalmon5757]

I agree, I felt bad for him, I felt she was being too harsh in her critique. I would say more however I choose to reign in my critique of her behaviour.

[@lakshmiart4564]

I'm very happy that you're back Kirsty. I like the fact that your doing fun challenges but teaching in the procces of it. im really excited for upcoming new videos.

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

I am so happy you are looking forward to the new style of videos. It was really fun trying to mix tips and entertainment in this video :)

[@jonosterman7886]

You're*

[@bradhuskers]

@Kirsty Partridge Art This video was amazing. The way you brought the drawing to life, just blew me away. Could I mail you my portrait in pencil? It's got issues. I want to mail the drawing along with the reference photograph, because after seeing the magic you brought to this drawing, I'd be honored if you could work the same magic on my portrait. Respectfully, Brad

[@anhellvillar1742]

Am watching you for 4 yrs now, am just shy to a leave a comment but i feel sad when you're not posting much anymore and when you're burn out. But this a good comeback ♥️♥️♥️you help me improve so much before. Right now I can now draw human anatomy correctly, shapes/ forms, color and shades. I am currently an aspiring digital and watercolor artist. Take care of your health and dont push yourself to much, enjoy the process of creating art ✨♥️😀

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

For the first time trying to draw something, he did really well!

[@nikitadrawzzz906]

I love the way you are teaching though this challenge. It is nice to see the exact mistake and learn how to fix it.♥️

[@kekhrienokuotsu7911]

Great seeing you back Kirsty! Hope you'll find the inspiration to make more amazing artwork again!✨

[@ckgrif6615]

This could be a series. Most of us are much closer to your husband's level so that was refreshing. It was a does and don'ts in disguise. I loved it.

[@viewfromthehighchair9391]

The husband's drawing was actually pretty damn good if you ask me given the amount of time he took and that fact that he did it freehand. Once one starts to learn a few of the tricks, the quality can go up exponentially. I started to draw as a hobby in Feb. 2020 and, within two months, was doing portrait drawings I was willing to show to others. It's fun to find out you actually have some talent as I did at my advanced age. Wish I could show one; however, KZbin doesn't allow that yet.

[@ladynym89]

You might have an Instagram and show us ☺️

[@viewfromthehighchair9391]

@@ladynym89 I don't but can't figure out how to post anything. I've tried from my computer but it doesn't work. Truest signs that I've gotten old. LOL

[@beccabrinkley1230]

I would be thrilled if I drew his version lol! I love watching you teach how to correct things!!

[@earthangell1]

🌹Soo thrilled your back! I love your husband’s reaction to his drawing after you touched it up, btw after reading some comments I just have to say that people have to understand that you “both” were doing this piece of artwork as a learning/teaching lesson to help all of us, not because you would actually do this kind of thing to someone’s artwork otherwise. 🖼 🎨 🖌

[@Yolanda_draws]

I check all the time if you’ve posted. Hoping that KZbin forgot to alert me and if I go to your page I’d find that there is a new video. That’s how much I enjoy your content. So happy you are posting now!! Through all your videos I’ve learned so much from you Kirsty. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@cherylbrewer1218]

Love this Kirsty. Your husband did really well , better than me lol. Thank you

[@MandisaM-o2k]

Don't insult yourself you'll get better soon :⁠^⁠)

[@KaylaJane]

Love his whimsical style with your gift for intricacy, and most of all - the chemistry between you two!

[@peteratutube]

So useful!!! Your husband’s a great sport and I learn an incredible amount watching this, making alll the same mistakes in my own way. Thank you!

[@stephenwilson7865]

Just two young kids enjoying each others company. Good on ya!!

[@saralang9677]

This made me laugh a lot! And how brave he was to make mistakes on camera! What I love about graphite or coloured pencil drawing is that how ever bad the mistakes are they are correctable, unlike water- or oil-painting. (Well oil painting is, but you have to wait until its dry and then go over again with another layer). You did a great job fixing it, especially the nose and I LOVED the white areas around the creepy house in the foreground. Not sure what the white speckles on the left were for, think the pic could have done without those. Overall, though an entertaining video and hugely helpful. Thanks so much!

[@EVA-P.]

"everythings 2big or 2small"😅😅i loved him☺☺n the pics really very nice😉😉well done man..go on😊😊😍😍

[@kraptoast]

This is crazy I'm currently working on max drawing then you upload this!

[@BigTJK]

Nice to see you back with the new format Kirsty. Great fun and great work as usual. Kudos to your hubby too!

[@Lucassafaari]

All way From Tanzania, I'm so glad that you are back

[@jackiec9062]

Good for anyone new to fish keeping x Luv from UK 🇬🇧

[@bongbonglelina4895]

Collaborate with your artwork is more preferable than fixing other's work. Every artwork is unique.

[@edbrito-swdev]

This was a nice video. Lots of good takeaways from this. I've been learning how to draw for the last year and I see lots of relatable things here.

[@RubenLSison]

I'm pretty sure through your guidance your hubby will be a good artist someday, just like you, Kirsty. Thanks for your wonderful arts and tutorial, l do really appreciate it.

[@julieduncan4075]

Aw, I think he did really well! He’s a good sport. Great drawing tips. Thank you!❤😊

[@gouwsteven]

Watching your videos makes me happy ☺ Glad to see you back ❤

[@HaileyAndTheArt]

He actually didn't do terrible, I think you two are just adorable!

[@sandeepkumar-gr5fn]

I am glad to see you again...and you will continue your work🙂

[@coastalphriends4913]

I have been watching your vids, learning little bits as I go...slowly all the pieces are coming together. This vid has many tips for beginners like me, to slowly assimilate! I am loving your vids!

[@sarahjahansoozi3927]

Kristy, you are my favorite artist on KZbin. I cannot say enough about your videos. Do you have a video on measuring when doing drawings of people?

[@lainasketches6711]

This is my favorite video! So excited for your new video ideas!

[@Paul-su3qh]

B Hi Kirsty, how you doing ? Hope you are feeling less stressed out now you have resigned yourself to taking a long break to spend time with your family. You know what, girl, it is a real pleasure to see you spending a challenging moment with your hubby. I hope he realises the complexity of being a mother and a wife and at the same time being a creative person with a huge following in tow and running a business all at the same time. It was good to see that he is showing an interest in taking part and learning to share a creative moment with you in front of the camera. Besides that I think he also did his best to produce a reasonably good sketch for someone who feels he does not have your ability. Perhaps now he has done this we may see some more of his work as he progresses. Hope he will keep trying. By the way Kirsty, it is good to see you having fun too and welcome back.

[@beaksandtweets3539]

It's so nice to see you getting back to art again, and with such a big smile.

[@naomichallinor7233]

He did pretty well for a beginner, I don't know if he's had a little practice before hand and picked up some tricks from you on the way but even so! I'm ways impressed by how people erase so well, I have the tombow eraser but it never picks up that well! Any tips?

[@justafryart3273]

That was fun getting to see the transformation. This made me smile from beginning to end, love it! 😊

[@cliveangelaedwards8854]

You did a really good job there correcting various small mistakes and made the finished project look amazing... that Tombo eraser is fantastic and I must get one!... thank you...😊😍

[@sarahjahansoozi3927]

I loved the drawing of your two children. Your techniques are so helpful and I only hope I could be half as good as you.

[@weekendsketches]

We need more of these style of videos, this was fun...

[@rubyh6404]

This was so fun to watch Kirsty! Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

[@JaneofArc]

Wow, he did amazing for his first time. Was it really? A lot of beginners don't consider values and so many other things that you can tell he tried to capture, and even though there is room to improve, I think he did very well. It wouldn't take much for him to turn out quality work. You must be a good teacher. You did a beautiful job. Cool challenge and I bet you guys learned a lot about each other and make a great team in other areas of your life too.

[@jackieoreilly568]

Awww, what a wholesome collaboration!

[@dannyartsstuff2107]

the two of your a perfect team.

[@mikesmmaworld]

These type of videos can be a whole series. "Fix my drawing plz!"" Lol

[@mokomadz]

YESS i love this type of art content

[@kikicheung5149]

love it. You two are adorable. I think your husband was doing well as an amateur, way a lot better than many people I knew. And he was willing to sit for several hrs to draw. 😂

[@mattrooneyart]

That is insane you really captured the background looks so cool! ❤️ it!

[@littlebumgorf]

this is awesome, really shows that mistakes can be worked with!

[@sricharcoalworks]

This is a new way of teaching ...practical training approach for distance learning..❤️😎 Kirsty the besty..❤️❤️ You are back 😜😻

[@aandasartzone]

that transformation was big, you changed it a lot! Also I am so happy you started posting again.

[@renmuffett]

He really didn't do half bad for an armature! Not that bad at all! He could learn this if he wanted to. PS, Kirsty, I tried pure walnut oil for blending color pencil from M Graham art supplies, (Walnut oil is a very dry oil that dries pretty fast). The blending reminded me to the soft look of pastel. Once dry I could also layer over it well. I wondered if you have tried this. PS, Then you also have water Soluble Linseed oil made for water soluble oil paints. They work with color pencils too for much less cost than other options. Both are archival.

[@christieraper5472]

This was a fun video to watch. I like how you demonstrated common begginer mistakes.

[@lynnrushton7458]

Loved this!!! Great effort Darby! 👏👏😁

[@lyssasletters3232]

Kirsty, I'm very glad on your upload 💗 You always inspire me to do art. Whenever I think my art is bad, I remember you and it helps me improve my art🤗☺️🥰 I will try to fix my old drawings 🙂 a new art idea.....

[@ladynym89]

My husband doesn't even know how to hold a pencil and he is an engineer lol, I'm impressed of the sketch your hubby did. Of course the fixing process was amazing!

have you ever tried the tracing projector app? I absolutly love using it because i dont have to spend hours on the initial sketch. Id love to hear your thoughts on it!!!! XD

Happy to see u coming back to KZbin 💜 love your videos more i have a suggestion like try oil painting or acrylic or oil pastels is really amazing ,have a good day ☺️

[@donnawalter3061]

That was a great effort Darby, not bad at all apart from the nose lol 😂, kirsty you did a great job with your added touch, I would say that you enhanced the drawing but Darby did give you a decent foundation to start with. Brilliant and fun video to watch sweetheart 🥰

[@MisterGuitarCoverMan]

so much entertaining! Love this idea of a fix video 😎👍

[@jmurray2018]

I adored this presentation, Question - do you fix other peoples work ? I think that’s a cool idea as a program, though mostly are so protective over their work and hate input, I’m one one those fortunate few that welcomes growth and change and a different perspective! I’m not sure if you use these techniques as this is only the 2nd vid I’ve seen of yours but my fave go to tools of the trade are disposable gloves when doing messy work like charcoal, make up brushes/blushers and cue tips for blending like the tissue around the finger and it gets rid of those oily finger marks, on the measuring where things go id rip of a piece of paper and use it as a measuring tape make marks on it then transfer these marks to my drawing. I agree my Tombo erasure and polychromatic black pencil are a must. Here my greatest tip I’m a digital artist but when I’m drawing things in pencil, there are many ways to avoid smudging or not being able to see what I’m drawing - like wearing a glove or constantly turning the paper to get into angles and sections while preserving the original drawing, I use an old screen protector from my iPad Pro and place it over my drawing then when I’m reworking areas I’m not scared of smudging and I can also see what I’m doing without shielding my view (don’t press down too heavy that’s just plain silliness) Btw I some times use hair spray as a fixer. Anyways so glad to have come across your little channel wish I’d had the idea of doing KZbin as I’ve always helped people with their art. Keep up the great work your a true gift to a world that needs a little pep in its step and I’ll leave you with my own saying “We as artists have voices that are unique because we can create images that make people think, see the world in different ways and if you have an ability I almost feel like it’s your responsibility, your social responsibility to take those thoughts and translate them into thought provoking imagery that you can possibly change the world with.” Have a nice day and continuously beautiful life!

[@dennissaner2151]

At 64 years of age, patience becomes a habit. Through most peoples lives, especially these days, everybody wants to get immediately to the end. I have told people if they want to learn patience and how to slow themselves down, just watch an old person in public. We get to a certain age and we want to look at the details and try to take in what we've missed out on through our decades. He did a fantastic job of trying to relay what he saw. But, nobody can see details until they stop the speeding and get out and walk.
